Petra Aczél
University professor, communication researcher, rhetorician, and Chair of the Libri Support Committee
What happens to literature in a world where increasingly fast-paced video content competes for our attention? At Brain Bar, Petra Aczél seeks to answer this question. The professor and campus director at Széchenyi István University, as well as chair of the Libri Support Committee, has been researching verbal and visual rhetoric for more than 25 years. Her work on the future of science communication and the effects of media has earned her numerous national and international awards. On the Brain Bar stage, she explores how literature can remain relevant in the age of the attention economy, and who will write the books of the future if the space of storytelling shifts into the digital world.
